Newcastle United v Espanyol: Live Streaming and TV Info

Newcastle United will face Espanyol at St James' Park on Friday August 8, 2025, in a friendly match between the two clubs. The home team had a strong campaign last season, finishing fifth in the Premier League and securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League. This game will be just the second meeting between the two teams in the 21st century. They last played against each other in a pre-season friendly back in August 2000, which Espanyol won 2-1.

Newcastle's preparations for the 2025-26 Premier League season have not gone as planned, and head coach Eddie Howe is trying to maintain a positive outlook during this challenging time for the Magpies.

In terms of pre-season results, Newcastle United has played four friendly matches without securing a win. They started with a 4-0 victory over Celtic, followed by a 3-2 loss to Arsenal, a 1-0 defeat against a South Korean league team, and a 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

The Magpies will kick off their new season away at Aston Villa on August 16, but they have one more pre-season match to play against Espanyol, followed by a clash with Atletico Madrid on Saturday afternoon.

Espanyol have had a successful pre-season, winning four of their five matches, including their last three against Southampton, Wolfsburg, and Union Berlin. This strong performance has likely boosted confidence within the squad.

Last season, Espanyol finished 14th in La Liga, achieving a record of 11 wins, nine draws, and 18 defeats across 38 matches, which earned them 42 points, just two points above the relegation zone.
